Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

I tried Dell x300 drivers for XP in compatibility mode and also Mobility Modder + Omega drivers on a clean Windows 7 install, but neither worked well with x264 playback (CCCP+CoreAVC usually, though I tried other options.) Subsequently, I did pretty well by clean-installing Vista, accepting the Windows Update ATI drivers (twice), and then upgrade-installing Windows 7 (7100). I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with ATI x300 64MB (32MB dedicated.) WEI is 2.0. Aero is slow, so I turned it off.

Although I'm satisfied now, my major remaining complaint is some tearing in x264 playback on high motion scenes. I was thinking of retreating to Windows XP to fix that, but it seems this was a bug in the ATI 9.2 Catalyst drivers and so maybe eventually there will be a Windows Update version to fix it. I'm not sure what ATI Catalyst version these Windows Update drivers correspond to, but they are listed as driver 8.360.0.0 date 3/14/2007.

Also, Windows Media Center does not work; full screen gives a black screen.

Anyone got x264 without tearing or Media Center working in Windows 7 with an Inspiron 6000?

I fixed my problem with tearing on 720p mkv playback. I had Aero disabled, and it turns out that if you have Aero disabled in Windows 7 or Vista, then it also disables EVR, and you get tearing as a result. I get some dropped frames now, but I much prefer dropped frames over tearing. Phew, I was just about to revert to XP, but now mkv's look beautiful under Windows 7 on my Inspiron 6000.

@Mikaelft: Yeah, everybody else got the Radeon X300 to work with Windows 7. Didn't you try the Windows Update drivers? But for mobiltymodder, there's a new ATI Catalyst out in the last few days, and I installed that fine. (It didn't work with the version around June, which is now a known bug.)
